Long Island's Newsday has an article about big NY unions selling out the Democrats and Gov. Spitzer. These folks are endorsing the GOP nominee for an open State Senate seat in Nassau Co. The vacancy was arranged by the new governor, when he appointed St. Sen. Balboni to a spot in his administration.
CSEA, NY's largest public employee union, and Dennis Rivera's SEIU 1190 are the latest to back the Republican County Clerk in the February special election.
Fortunately, UFCW & CWA are sticking with Democratic County Legislator Craig Johnson.
Lots of you folks criticized Hillary, Spitzer, NY Democrats, etc. for not taking the State Senate majority in November. This union backstabbing and significant gerrymandering are the major obstacles to a Democratic takeover and more favorable redistricting next time around.
